Doctor Roy Geronemus explained in an interview how the process of removing more than 100 tattoos from comedian Pete Davidson‘s body went.
Dermatologist Dr. Roy Geronemus explained in an interview with the portal LADbible how he removed more than 100 tattoos from Pete Davidson in a long and painful process that took 4 years.
Roy was ranked as the fourth best cosmetic dermatologist in the USA in 2023 and has worked with several celebrities.
Pete Davidson mentioned in an appearance on the “Saturday Late Night with Seth Meyers” show in 2021 that he was removing his tattoos with “Dr. G.” The comedian was referring to Roy Geronemus.
Davidson described the process as “horrible” and said it is “worse than getting tattoos,” since it is necessary to “burn the skin” to remove the design from the body.
The doctor explained why it takes so long to remove tattoos. He mentioned that the ink color, the person’s skin color, and the tattoo’s shape influence the duration of the procedure.
“The hardest to remove are the black ink tattoos, which is the most common color. But in reality, the hardest tattoos are those done on people with very dark skin pigmentation,” said Dr. Geronemus.
“Sometimes more than eight sessions may be required for larger tattoos,” he continued, adding that the procedures are taking less time due to advancements in technology.
As for pain, the doctor noted that it shouldn’t hurt, but some people experience discomfort.
